He's eyeing up the bird feeder that was out of shot.

Odd, that. Most bird feeders are out of bird seed when they're out of anything ...
Cheers, Chris

Yes, and indeed most of the feeders hanging up at this location were out of seed. There was though just enough left at the bottom of one feeder to entice the birds out of the nearby trees. Had we got there about an hour later though I doubt we'd have seen any birds at all.

I very much like this photo, Ken. So sharp given the shallow depth of field.
What bird is this?

He looks like our red breasted nuthatch

Or possibly a Eurasian Nuthatch?

Close cousins, no doubt.

Yes, it's a nuthatch:
